5.0St. Joseph Church and Gardens(13 reviews) - Beautiful church and gardens Architectural Buildings • Religious Sites
We have been members for a number of years. It is a beautiful church in a lovely old neighborhood that is very vibrant. It is an historical area only minutes from the French Quarter in New Orleans. Mass is 7:30, 9:30 and 11:30 on Sundays. The church was designed by a German architect that was well known in New Orleans. Old Gretna was settled by Germans and has a German Cultural Center. In the surrounding area, there are several good restaurants, a Saturday farmers market and it is only 6 blocks from the river where you can sit and watch the ships pass or ride a bike on the levee between the Gretna Ferry landing and the Algiers Ferry landing on The Point. Very interesting area historical area and beautiful church where you can be welcomed and enjoy a lovely mass.See more..

5.0St. Joseph Co-Cathedral(5 reviews) - Beautiful and historical! Spent 1-2 hours Architectural Buildings • Religious Sites • Churches & Cathedrals
I was surprised to see no reviews on this church. It is a spiritual place and an architectural work of art both inside and out, designed in the Renaissance Romanesque style of Europe. I very much enjoy taking pictures of historic buildings and this was an excellent choice. My preference is to take those of catholic churches and since times have changed and many churches have to lock their doors for security, I try to arrive a half hour to an hour before mass time. That way I can take photos around the building and inside, without disturbing those that are praying. Usually I participate in the mass; that way I can not only get the spiritual effect, but it also allows me time to absorb the intricate craft and design inside the building. Of course with all the stained glass windows, statues, lights,etc., it is hard to see and appreciate everything in an hour or two, but it is well worth a visit!See more..

4.5The Episcopal Church(2 reviews) - A Piece of History Spent < 1 hour Religious Sites • Churches & Cathedrals
Christ Episcopal Church is one of the oldest Episcopal Churches west of the Mississippi. It was designed by Frank Willis of New York and is an excellent example of American Gothic architecture. It was consecrated on May 15, 1854 by the Rt. Rev. Leonidas Polk 1st Episcopal Bishop of Louisiana The building is made of Louisiana Cypress and brick made at Woodlawn Plantation home of Colonel W.W. Pugh. The land and adjacent burial ground was donated by Dr. E.E Kittredge . During the Civil War, it was used as barracks by Union troops who used the stained glass windows made at Tiffany's in New York for marksmanship practice. It was finally restored between 1887-1906. It had a tracker organ that came from New Orleans. Today it and the burial ground are listed on the National Register of Historical Places.
